Erik AS - Game Designer
@eanderssonsunden.bsky.social
Works as a Board Game Designer (Whirling Witchcraft and Hungry Monkey) and an Applied Nuclear Physicist.
I haven’t told you a lot about my next release… but Whirling Witchcraft: Fantastic Familiars is bringing a whole new kind of chaos to the cauldron. New witches are moving into town, and their familiars have basically claimed your workbench as their own.

Biggest change so far: we moved from sequential to simultaneous gameplay. This will impact many modules—we want the game to be strategic and structured, but still let other players’ choices matter.

We want corruption in the system to feel both devastating and tempting. Last night we scrapped yet another system—this one we hoped would be simpler.

The past few weeks have been busy for DystopAI. Daniel (I've been cheering from the sideline) rebuilt all the tiles. We switched the action selection to a rondel… and then switched it again to something new. Our goal? Make players really feel like they have agency by programming action sequences.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made #Spiel unforgettable! From demos to press events to meeting our heroes — it’s been a dream. Huge thanks to Thorsten Gimmler and Sebastian Em for making it all possible. 🎲❤️

I start to have a full schedule at Spiel! I look forward to seeing friends, demoing games, and pitching other games.

I am so eager to get started with the pitching at Spiel. I have two new games that I haven't pitched before, and I think they both have cool ideas incorporated in them!

I'm always a bit nervous when pitching, though!

I’m so happy to see some coverage for The glorious guilds of Buttonville! 🥳

The game design pitch of Daniel Olai and myself, DystopAI, was just accepted by @fastaval.bsky.social ! I'm happy and can't wait for the journey to begin!

I just sent a PnP version of Craters to the publisher that has offered me an optional agreement on the game for the past months.

It is time for a decision. I will know before the end of September if they will take the game or not.

Now I send Craters to the publisher with an optional agreement. Will it fit their catalogue or not?

If yes, I’m happy to have signed a game with one of my grail publishers.

If no, they have helped me strengthen Craters and I have a really strong game to pitch at Spiel.

This mindset helps me.

The Kickstarter of @alderaceg.bsky.social is going quite well! Among many things, you can find a micro expansion for my design Whirling Witchcraft in it.

Give it a look if you are interested!

Played the demo version of Risk of Rain: the board game. @ianmosscreative.bsky.social and @nerdvanagames.bsky.social seem to have created a snappy and captivating coop here. you definitely got me interested with this demo. Thanks!

Adding the monuments to ”Where is That?” heightened the graphical profile of the game a lot! I think the illustrator made a great job!

Calvin and Hobbes have been with me my whole life, back and forth through different chapters. Now I am reading them again, this time as both a parent and an extra parent.
This strip is one I find myself quoting more often than I would expect:

“… and as long as I’m dreaming, I’d like a pony.”

In ”Where is that?” you try to place cities correctly relative to each other. In the photos we illustrate the scoring system.
